RE: Just what we need another new 30 caliber.
I've never understood thenew caliber craze like the remington ultras, Winchester Short Mags, Marlin's new leverevolution calibers like the .308 Marlin, Thompsons .30 TC, the list goes on and on.... I'd rather see companies put more resources in the quality of their products and good customer service, then blow it on marketing gimmicks. I think Remington (and others) would be better suited to apply the old 80/20 principle, and make better quality, tried and true guns like the 700,1100, 11-87and 870 in the most popular calibers.How manyRemington guns over the last few years are already gone -- the 798, 799, Cheap Spartanguns, andI think we'll add the new"887 Wanna-be Benelli Nova" Pump gun to the list within a yearor two. The Ultra magsare incredibly inefficientrounds that do nothing but beat youup andburn up barrels. I'll stay with the .270, '06, .30-30, and.243 standard calibers all day. Just my opinion -- maybe I'm just a Jack O'Connor type of person....
